the missing sense... common sense


the missing sense... common sense

my problem with the headpones is not just the removal of our sense of hearing
the use of headphones takes people out of the zone
puts them into a selfish focus
in most cases it turns people into an iDiot

snowboarding making turns to the music... sure if you are out of bounds
but would'nt the beat of your heart over the silence being cut by slicing turns be more appealing
then on the multiuse trail... it is more than not hearing the audible "on your left"
it makes people senseless... as if they were riding blind
not in touch with their bike
not in touch with those around them
